To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, HOSMER TUTTLE, a citi- Zen of the United StatesofAmerica, residing at Cedar Rapids, in the county of Linn and State ofIowa, have invented certainv new and useful Improvements in Straw-BandGrain- Binders, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to improvements in straw-band grain-binders; andthe objects of my improvement are to produce a simple and effectivemechanism for binding gavels .of grain with straw, as will be fullyhereinafter described, and specifically set forth in the claims. Iaccomplish these objects by the construction shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a harvester-binderconstructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is aside elevationof the binder on a larger scale with the platform removed. Fig. 2a is adiagram of the path traveled by the straw band before reaching the Fig.2b is a top view of the rear upper casting and part of the U-shapedframe. Fig. 3 is a front View of the binder.

Fig. 12? is a front view of the cam thatoperates the guard of the knetter-fork. Fig. 13 is ya top view of thebinding mechanism with the driving-wheel and end casting on the head ofthe frame in section. Fig. 13 is a top view of the breast-plate, thesliding grasper b3 for the grain band, and the movable jaw b4, providedwith a stem carrying a spring coiled thereon, said stem passing looselythrough a lug projecting from the top of the breast-plate, said lugconstituting the pivot for the tilting jaw b4.

In said drawings, A represents the inclined binding-table attached atthe inner side therevof to the elevator-frame A2 and supported at theouter side thereof by means of braces A3, secured to the under side ofsaid platform at one end and having their other end attached to thetubular rail A4, secured to a standard A5, resting upon the sill of theharvester. Said standard has its upper end connected to a brace A6,secured also to the elevator-frame. A rail A' supports the inner end ofthe platform A. The' platform A is slotted at a for the passage of thepacker-arms a2. The latter are in the form of rods, having an eye a3 atthe inner end, an eye a4 at the outer end, and an upward bend d5 betweenthe two ends. The outer end of each packer having the eye a4 is adaptedto slide upon a guide-rod 0.6, secured at one end to the under side ofthe platform. Said guide-rod is substantially in a horizontal position,and as the platform is in an inclined position it will cause the bentportion a5of the packer-arm to ascend through the slot a in saidplatform when said arm is slid along its guide-rod a6. Said guide-rod aican be bent or set at a suitable angle under the platform to give thenecessary rise to the packer-arm. The portion of the packer-arm betweenits bend a5 and its eye a4 is substantially at a right angle to theplatform and is preferably slightly concave toward the bundle formingand discharging mechanism. The eye as of each packer-armiis journaledupon a crank a7, formed upon the shaft a8, having a sprocket-wheel a9,operated by means of a chain 0.10, passing also around a doublesprocket-wheel 0.12 upon the pitman-shaft or any other suitable shaft ofthe machine.

Over the platform A is mounted the grainbinding mechanism, the frame ofwhich has its lower end B2 bolted to said platform, and

ICO

also at B' to the upper end of the braces A3. The frame is in the formof a letter U laid on its side. It consists of two parallel tubes B3,extending horizontally and forming with the casting bs the head of theframe. Two tubes B4, standing vertically, and two horizontal tubes B5forming the lower member complete the frame. One end of each of thetubes B3 is united to the upper end of one of the vertical tubes B4 byangle-castings B6, and the two tubes B5 are united to the lower ends ofthe tubes B4 by angle-castings B2, the latter forming also the base ofthe frame of the binding mechanism. To stiften the portion of the frameformed by the vertical tubes B4 a tube B8 is mounted vertically betweenthe angle-castings B6 and B2, and a bolt B passing through said tube BSclamps said castings firmly together. The upper anglecastings BG havebearings for the main shaft C of the grain-binding mechanism, saidshaftv carrying the clutch that is operated by the trip orstarting andstopping mechanism when the necessary amount of grain fora gavel hasbeen collected, and which will be described hereinafter. The upperangle-casting B6 carries also the bearings for the shaft D, that carriesthe operating devices for the knotting mechanism for opening theclutch,.for operating the needle, and for operating the takeup of theband, and said shaft revolves one revolution for each bundle produced.

The shaft C has motion transmitted thereto from the packer crank-shafta8 by means of aI wheel C2 upon the -shaft (y), and a chain C3 C,

connecting said sprocket-wheels.

'lhe machine is provided with a band retaining and cutting mechanism,which consists of a stationary cutter b, a horizontallysliding grasperb, pivoted to one end of a pivoted lever b5, Fig. 12, and alaterally-movable spling-jaw b4, Fig. 13. When the machine is to beoperated to bind a bundle, one end of the band R, that has been cut bythe stationary cutter Z), secured to the frame b2, is retained betweenthe sliding grasper b3 and the laterally-moving jaw b4 and passes withinthe hook of the grasper to and over the tripfinger c, and thencestraight to the needle E, and thence passes around a series of rollers1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Fig. 2, that give thereto sufticent tension, andthence to the band-making mechanism. The jaw b4 is mounted upon a spring-carryin g pin b, passing through a bearing in the frame. When thepackers have brought enough grain to give tothe band the curve shown inFig. 3, said band presses upon the trip-finger c and causes it to tip orrevolve laterally about one-sixth of a revolution from the positionshown in dotted lines in Fig. 13 to the position shown by full lines insaid figure. The needle then advances and carries the band around thegavel until said needle occupies the position shown in Fig. 4.

The parts above mentioned are operated as follows: The shaft C carries apinion C4, that meshes with a gear-Wheel D2 upon the shaft D. Thispinion is loose on the shaft C and carries one of the members of aclutch. The other member is on the end of a sleeve C5,con nected bymeans of a feather with the shaft C, and said members of the clutch areheld together by the spring C6 upon said shaft, one end of the springabutting against a pin passing through said shaft, while the other endabuts against the sleeve. The sleeve has a peripheral groove, into whichenters the two pins of the clutch-arm C7, pendent from the clutch-leverC8, pivoted at one end to the frame at c2, and having pivoted at itsopposite end a latch C9,one end of which enters within the periphery ofthe gear-wheel D2, and at the proper time is forced endwise andoutwardly toward the side of the said wheel by an in clined plane d onsaid wheel, and stops the binding apparatus. rlhe latch C" is connectedwith a crank-arm c4 upon the upper end of the shaft c5 of thetrip-finger c by means of a rod c3, the length of which is adjustable bymeans of the nut e9, having a right and left hand thread receiving thetwo parts of said rod. The shaft c5, carrying the trip-finger c at itslower end, is retainedin brackets c', projecting on the side of theframe e8. To cause the shaft c5 to make a part of a revolution to bringthe trip-finger to the position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 13 aspring c6, Fig. 4, is coiled upon said shaft c5 and has its upper endsecured thereto and its lower end in engagement with pins on astationary plate c7, secured t0 one of the brackets c of the frame e8,carried by the upper tubes B3 of the U- shaped frame.

The needle E is mounted upon a shaft E2, carriedby the lower casting ofthe Ushaped frame. Said shaft has an offset or lateral extension Ethereon to present a broad surface to the gavel and help to keep itstraight on the table and permit the omission of a compressing-post, theband in this case serving as a compressor on the discharging side of thebundle. It also gives room for the discharging-armsf to revolve withtheir shaft F and permit said discharging-arms to engage tlrst with thebottom of the bundle and move in a circular path. Dscharging-armsmounted under the table are preferred, as they press the bundle againstthe knetter mechanism and leave no loose portion under the top of theband. To oscillate the needle-shaft E2 it carries at one end a crank E",that is united by the connecting-rod E4 with a crank E5 upon the shaftD. The latter crank E5 is shorter than the crank E3, so that While thecrank E5 makes a revolution with its shaft the crank E accomplishes onlya long oscillation.

To operate the take-up while the needlearm is swinging up around thegavel, the crank E has pivoted to its outer end one end of aconnecting-rod E, that has pivoted at its IIO opposite end one end of alever El, having its i opposite end pivoted to the frame at e, and thislever carries adj ustably pivoted thereto between its two ends aconnecting-rod e2, that has its opposite end pivoted to one end of thetake-up lever e2. Said lever is pivoted to a block e4, pendent from thetable A, and carries at its opposite end the pulley 3, around which theband R passes.

The needle having reached nearly its highest point with the band betweenthe knetter-jaws, the sliding grasper b3 opens out and releases thefinished or first-retained end of the band and is in position to grasp anew one. The needle advances to the end of its course and lays the bandwithin the recess of the sliding grasper, and the latter is retractedand brings the band in contact with the edge of the cutter b and betweensaid sliding grasper and the slightly-tilting spring-jaw b4, and whenthe needle is retracted the band occupies the position shown in Fig. 13.To advance and retract at the proper time the sliding grasper b2 thereis pivoted to its rear end a lever b5, pivoted at ,h6 to au arm 197,pendent from the upper head b2 of the U-shaped frame. The upper end ofthe lever b5 is provided with a roller b9, that enters into the grooveof a cam D6, secured upon the shaft D.

When the end G of the band is first retained by the sliding grasper b2,it occupies a substantially horizontal position and passes over thetrip-finger c and thence to the point of the needle, the latter beingnearly even with the top of the platform. The grain is then packedagainst the bandl and causes it to bulge rearwardly. The pressure of thegrain upon the band causes the band to slide off the trip-finger andenter between the branches g of the fork of the knetter. The needleadvances then and gathers into the gavel any grain that may be in frontthereof and at the same time conducts the end 7 of the band between thebranches of the fork of the knetter and presses sufficiently against theend 6, already between the branches of the fork of the knetter, to allowthe sliding grasper b2 to release the end 6 and be in position toreceive the end 7-thatis, the extremity thereofin the hook of saidsliding grasper, and said sliding grasper, being retracted by themechanism heretofore described, presses the end 7 against the cutter b,and the latter cuts it in the position shown in Fig. 4:. Before theknetter begins to revolvethe band is prevented from slipping off frombetween the branches g of the fork of said knotter by means of acircular guard, preferably formed of three pieces lying in a horizontalplane passing through said fork. .Two of these pieces are in the form ofjaws, as shown at G G2, Fig. S. The jaw G is mounted upon 4a shaft G andthe jaw G2 is mounted upon a shaft G2, and these shafts are retained inbearings formed in the breast-plate G4. The hubs lThe slot of the jawsare provided with gear-teeth that mesh together, so that by operatingthe shaft of one of the jaws the other will also be operated. The shaftG is the one that gives motion to both jaws, and to operate said shaftit is provided with a crank-arm G5, to which a part rotation is given bymeans of a connecting-rod G6, having one end pivoted to said crank-armand the other end pivoted to the lower end of a lever G7, pivoted at GSto the frame es and having its upper end provided with a roller thatenters the groove of a cam G2, forming a part of the gear-wheel D2. Thejaw G closes immediately after the end 7 of the band has entered theknotter-fork and insures the entrance as well as the retention of theend of the band therein.

The third piece constituting the circular guard above mentioned isstationary and consists of an arm H It lia-sa segmental groove (showndotted at H) in thel under side to complete the circle of said guard. Itlies in the same horizontal plane as the breast-plate G4 and is securedtosaid plate at one end. The other end is curved to form a guide H2 todirect the band to the knotter-fork. The breastplate G4 has aslot H2therein for the passage of the needle-arm. Toassist in retaining theknot produced in the band at the time that it is discharged from theknotter-fork and cause `pressure of said band upon the grain at thepoint where a space temporarily occurs between said band and the grain(said space being caused by the withdrawal of the knotter-fork) andprevent the slipping of the parts 6 of the band back of the normal lineof said band and assist said part G of the band to pass laterally andbeyond the ends of the knotter-fork, aknot-holder h is used. The pendentarm h of said knot-holder is carried on the end of a horizontal rod h2,carried in bearings upon the breast-plate G4, and the rear end h of saidrod is bent vertically and enters aslot h3 in the end of a crank-arm h4,mounted upon the shaft Gof one of the arms of the circularknotter-guard. The lower end of the pendent arm h has a finger h5 atright angles thereto and parallel withrthe horizontal rod h2 to pressupon the band for the purpose stated. Said iinger h5 is tilted into anearly horizontal position by the jaw G2. h3 in the crank-arm h4 is topermit the jaw G2 to partly open before said arm h4 begins to pull uponthe rod h2 and is used to retard the operation of the finger h5 untilthe jaw G2 is-sufliciently away from the knetterfork. Immediately afterthe closing of the circular guard formed by the jaws G G2 the teeth D2on the face of the mutilated gear D2 begin to engage with the twopinions K K2 of the knetter and revolve them in the same direction andwith the same speed and cause the knotter-fork to revolve horizontallyand produce upon the ends of the band the one twist and a half shown inFig. 5. After the end of the segment of teeth D2 has been reached thepinion K2 continues to revolve on IOO account of its engagement with theteeth of the segment D4 upon the mutilated gear D2; but the pinion Kremains stationary, and this causes the knottert`ork to revolve upon itsown axis, draw upon the band, and form the tuck of the knot under theband, as shown in rear view in Fig. 6 and in side view in Fig. 7.

To prevent the pinions K and K2 from rotating after they have left theirengagement with the cogs of the mutilated gear D2, the pinion K has arectangular head r. with two parallel surfaces, which are of proper sizeto travel upon the inner flange 7o of said gear and opposite the cogs D3D5. Said flange is slotted at k2 to permit said head 7n to revolve whentraveling opposite said eogs Dand D5. The gear K2 is provided with ahead 7a3, having two flat surfaces on opposite sides to similarly travelupon they outer flange 7a4 and prevent said gear K2 from rotating exceptwhen it is opposite the cogs D3 D4. To cause the ends of the band to betucked directly under the knot and in the best position across thegavel, (in place of partly lengthwise,) there is pro jecting from theside of the bearing Kof the shaft of the knotter-fork a hook K, thatreceives the ends of the band andprevents them from dropping under saidbearing K3 and di rects them under the band immediately in front of saidhook and under the point occupied by the tucked portion of the knot. Toproduce the twisting and tucking of the band above described, the knotter consists of a hollow shaft K5, retained nearly vertically in abearing K6, secured to the frame c5. To the upper end of said shaft iskeyed the pinion K2, and the lower end of said shaft carries or hasformed integral therewith a bevel-pinion K7, that meshes with abevel-pinion K8 upon the shaft K9, that carries the rigid branches g ofthe fork of the knetter. Passing.r through the hollow shaft K5 and itspinion K7 there is a shaft KS, that forms the upper end of the bearingKsi, to the upper end of which shaft is pinned the pinion K, and saidupper end is received in a bearing in the upper branch of theknotter-box K, To insure the reten tion of the ends of the grain bandbetween the rigidbranches got the knotter-fork while the latter arerevolved to twist the ends of the grain band and tuck them n nder theband, each branch of the knottenfork is longitudinally slotted andcarries pivoted thereto bellcrank-shaped clamps (2, having their outerends slightly hooked, and their inner ends pivoted to one end of a rodg3, passing longitudinally through the shaft K9, upon which is looselymounted the lever-cap g, that is prevented from escaping from its placeupon the rod g3 by means ot' the nut g5, screwed upon the end of saidrod; but the lever-cap is retained in contact against the gear Ks onlyby the resilience of the spring g, coiled upon the rod g3, as saidspring bears at one end against the head of the rod and at the other endagainst a shoulder formed in the interior of the shaft K9. Upon theinner face of the lever-cap are formed two radial grooves Q7, and uponthe rear of the gear K8 are formed two corresponding radial projectionsgs, so that the parts g4 K8 can be in close contact when the projectiong8 are within the recesses 97, and the clamps g2 are then open and inproper position to receive the band; but as the lever-cap g4 isprevented from rotating by its stem g entering a slot in an armprojecting from the periphery of the bearing K3 or from a bushingattached to said bearing, and the pinion K8 is rotated when the strawband is tucked, it follows that while the pinion K8 makes a revolutionthe projection g8 on said pinion travels upon the flat surface ofthelever-cap and the clamps g2 tightly hold the baud inserted betweenthem. W'hen the pinion KB has made a complete turn, the projections g8again fall into the recesses g7 and the clamps g2 become opened ready torelease the knotted ends of the band.

.After the ends of a straw band have been twisted together and tuckedunder the band, as shown in Fig. (i, and the bandclamps g2 are opened,the revolving discharging-arms fare pressing against the side of thebundle and move it in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 6, pulling thegavel off the fork with the band firmly knotted. When the gavel has beenentirely separated from the knotter, the gear D2, having continued torevolve its inner row of cogs D5, comes into engagement with the pinionK and gives it a half-turn, which places the knotter-fork back intoposition to receive the band for a new gavel. To operate thedischarging-arms f, their shaft F carries at one end a pinion f2, thatmeshes with another pinion f3, mounted upon a stud f4, carrying asprocket-wheelf5, that obtains its motion from a sprocket-wheel f6 uponthe shaft D.

To keep the straw band R from backing toward the band-making mechanismwhen the tension-lever of said mechanism is pulling on the band, aretaining-pawl z' is pivoted to the elevator-frame directly over theband, and a rigid lug 'i2 supports the band at that point.

The top of the binder-frame is connected with the top of theelevator-frame by means of a swinging brace or rod I to hold the binderin position in case of undue strain.
